Letters Patent No. 95,966, dated Octobre?` 19, 1869.

REFLECTOR FOR STREET-LAMP.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the salmeo To all whom tt may conce-rn.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH N. ARoNsoN, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented anew and usefullmprovement in Reflectors for Street- Lamps; and do hereby decla-re that the following is a general description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, of which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the streetlamp, with my invention applied to it Figure 2, a top View of the reflector, on an enlarged scale, removed from the lamp and Figure 3, end view of same.

The nature of my invention consists in the particular construction and arrangement of two or more corrugated-glass or transparent reflectors on a suitable frame-work applied to a street-lamp, for the purpose of concentrating, multiplying, and throwing the reflected. and transmitted light in opposite directions, by means of which a greater volume of light can be obtained from the same amount of gas or oil, and a consequent saving of these illuminating-agents effected.

In the said drawings-- A indicates an ordinal y street-lamp, provided with a gas-burner, B, in the usual manne-r.

C C are the glass or transparent reflectors, which also serve as lenses to transmit and converge a portion of the light, which may be concave-convex, corrugated on the outer surface, and of which there may be two or more.

These reflectors are each confined within a silverplated band, D, which aids -in reflecting the light, while the said bands, being provided with sockets, E E, for reception of the arms F F, Snc., of the frame G, sustain the reflectors at any desired angle in relation to the lamp.

These arms, F F, project from a collar, H, which embraces the neck of-the burner B, and being provided with a' set-screw, K, for adjustment, constitute the frame-work G for sustaining the reectors.

The street-lamps Ain present use require no alteration to snitthem to lny device, as 1 merely open the door of the lamp and vset the frame G, withits re.- Hectors C O, on the neck oi' the burner B, and fasten the same in position by the set-screw K, close the lamp-door, when the reflectors are in action; this being but the work of a moment.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The arrangement of oppositely-situated lens-reticetors C C, mounted, by means of'vband-sockets E E, on forked arms F F, which project from a collar, H, provided with a set-screw, K, so that the whole may he applied to and adjusted on the ordinary burner of a street-lamp, substantially as and for the purpose herein specied.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my signature, this 28th day otJuly, A. D. 1869.
